plication. Direct-Vent appliances operate with

the combustion chamber completely isolated

from the inside atmosphere. All air for com-

bustion is brought in from the outside and

exhaust gases are vented through the same

direct vent, vent system.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Note: Installation and repair should be per-

formed by a qualified service person. The appli-

ance should be inspected annually by a quali-

fied professional service technician. More fre-

quent inspections and cleanings may be re-

quired due to excessive lint from carpeting,

bedding material, etc. It is imperative that the

Variable Flame Height Adjustment

( Millivolt Appliances only)

1. All Millivolt appliances are equipped with a

variable gas control valve. Flame height for

these models may be adjusted through a range

between fixed low and high settings, alter-

nately, while the appliance is in operation. Ad-

just the flame height as desired after lighting

the appliance by rotating the variable adjust-

ment control knob located on the front of the

valve

(refer to Figure 3 - SIT, 4 - Honeywell)

2. When lit for the first time, this appliance will

emit a slight odor for an hour or two. This is

due to the “burn-in” of internal paints and

lubricants used in the manufacturing process.

3. Keep lower control compartment clean by

vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year.

More frequent cleaning may be required due

to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding ma-

terials, etc. It is important that control com-

partments, burners and circulating air pas-

sageways of the appliance be kept clean.

4. Always turn off gas to the pilot (millivolt

appliances) before cleaning. Before re-light-

ing, refer to the lighting instructions in this

manual. Instructions are also found on a pull-

out panel located on the floor of the appliance.

Electronic Appliances -

To light electronic appliances refer to the de-

tailed lighting instructions found in both En-

glish and French on

pages 14 and 15

of these

instructions respectively. Electronic appliance

lighting instructions may also be found on

the pull out lighting instruction labels at-

tached to the gas control valve. If your elec-

tronic appliance is equipped with an optional

remote wall switch or remote control kit the

appliance main burner may be turned on and

off with the wall switch or remote control.

If your electronic appliance is not equipped

with a wall switch or remote control, the main

burner must be turned off and on with the gas

control switch. Toggle the switch from ON to

OFF to operate the main burner .

Honeywell Electronic Gas Valve

5. Always keep the appliance area clear and

free from combustible materials, gasoline and

other flammable liquids.

6. Remember, Millivolt appliances have a con-

tinuous burning pilot flame. Exercise caution

when using products with combustible vapors.

Glass Cleaning

It will be necessary to clean the glass periodi-

cally. During start-up it is normal for conden-

sation to form on the inside of the glass. This

can cause lint, dust and other airborne par-

ticles to cling to the glass surface. Also initial

paint curing may deposit a slight film on the

glass. It is therefore recommended that the

glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-

ammonia household cleaner and warm water

(a gas fireplace glass cleaner is recommended).

After that the glass should be cleaned two or

three times during each heating season, de-

pending on the circumstances present.

Note: Clean glass after first two weeks of

operation.

WARNING: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE

CLEANERS. NEVER CLEAN THE GLASS

WHEN IT IS HOT.

Maintenance

The appliance and venting system should be

thoroughly inspected before initial use and at

least annually by a qualified service techni-

cian. However, more frequent periodic inspec-

tions and cleanings should be performed by

the homeowner. Homeowner must contact a

qualified service technician at once if any

abnormal condition is observed.

Refer to the maintenance schedule for mainte-

nance tasks, procedures, periodicity and by whom

they should be performed. Always verify proper

operation of the appliance after servicing.

Front Glass Enclosure Panel, Removal

and Installation.

ENSURE THAT THE FRONT GLASS PANEL IS IN

PLACE AND SEALED DURING ADJUSTMENT.

Adjustment

CAUTION: THE ADJUSTMENT ROD AND

NEARBY APPLIANCE SURFACES ARE HOT.

EXERCISE CAUTION TO AVOID INJURY WHILE

ADJUSTING FLAME APPEARANCE.

To adjust the flame, move the adjustment rod

(located in the lower control area) up or down

to increase or reduce the air shutter opening,

respectively. Initially, always position the air

shutter to the factory setting (the minimum air

opening position) as shown in

Figure 6 on

page 7

. This can be done by pulling the adjust-

ment rod all the way down. Allow the burner to

operate for at least 15 minutes. Observe the

flame continuously. If it appears weak or sooty

as previously described, adjust the air shutter

by pushing or pulling on the adjustment rod

until the flame appearance is as desired.

The adjustment rod and associated adjustable

air shutter is patented technology. Flame ad-

justments can be made quickly and accurately

to taste without the need of disassembling the

appliance and waiting for 30 minutes after each

adjustment.

Propane models may exhibit a flame pattern

that may candle or appear stringy. If this is

problematic or persists as the appliance is

continually operated, adjust the air shutter

closed as described in the previous paragraphs.

Operate the appliance for a period of time as the

effect diminishes, ensuring that the appliance

does not develop sooty flames.

When satisfied that the appliance operates prop-

erly, proceed to finish the installation. Leave the

control knob in “ON” position and turn the

remote switch “OFF.” Close the lower control

compartment door.

To install the front glass enclosure panel,

proceed as follows:

1. Retrieve the glass door frame. Visually

inspect the gasket on the backside of the

panel. The gasket surface must be clean, free

of irregularities and seated firmly.

2. Position the door frame in front of the

firebox opening and engage the top flange

over the lip at the top of the firebox opening.

3. Swing the door down and back. Ensure the

gasket seats evenly as the door draws shut.

Engage the Vee-flange at the bottom of the

door with the latches and close the latches to

secure the door.

4. Reinstall the top louver assembly or radiant

panel.

Burner Adjustments

The following paragraphs address burner ad-

justment concerns and procedures.

Sooting is caused by incomplete combustion in

the flames and a lack of combustion air entering

the air shutter opening. To achieve a warm

yellow to orange flame with an orange body that

does not soot, the shutter opening must be

adjusted between these two extremes. No smoke

or soot should be present. Reposition the logs if

the flames impinge on any of them.

If the logs are properly positioned and sooting

conditions exist, the air shutter opening on the

main burner tube should be adjusted. Normally,

the more offsets in the vent system, the greater

the need for the air shutter to be opened further.

WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE

WITHOUT THE GLASS ENCLOSURE PANEL IN

PLACE AND SECURE. DO NOT OPERATE AP-

PLIANCE WITH THE FRONT GLASS PANEL

CRACKED, BROKEN OR MISSING. REPLACE-

MENT PANELS ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH

YOUR LOCAL LENNOX DEALER AND MUST BE

INSTALLED BY A LICENSED OR QUALIFIED

SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

These are direct-vent appliances. They are

designed to operate only with the front glass

enclosure panel properly installed. Gener-

ally, the glass enclosure panel should not be

removed except to gain access to the com-

ponents within the firebox, and the appli-

ance may only be operated without the front

glass enclosure panel in place for very brief

periods of time during initial appliance check-

out and adjustment.

During this appliance checkout and adjust-

ment period, a potential safety hazard exists

- EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION to prevent

the occurrence of any burn injuries from the

exposed flames or hot surfaces. Also note,

that while the front glass enclosure panel is

removed, the flame appearance will appear to

be smaller than normal.

WARNING: NO NOT ATTEMPT TO SUBSTITUTE

THE MATERIALS USED ON THIS DOOR, OR

REPLACE CRACKED OR BROKEN GLASS WITH

ANY MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PRO-

VIDED BY THE APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER.

THE GLASS DOOR OF THIS APPLIANCE MUST

ONLY BE REPLACED AS A COMPLETE UNIT

AS PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. DO

NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE BROKEN,

QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

TECHNICIAN.

Refer to

Figure 5

and remove the front glass

enclosure panel as follows:

1. Remove the top louver assembly or radiant

panel.

2. Open the hinged drop-down control com-

partment access panel.

3. Locate the two (2) latches at the top of the

control compartment and disengage them

from the door frame's bottom Vee-flange,

pulling down on their handles to open them.

WARNING: HANDLE THE GLASS WITH EX-

TREME CARE! TEMPERED GLASS IS SUS-

CEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE (SCRATCHES, FOR

EXAMPLE) – HANDLE GLASS DOOR (GLASS

ENCLOSURE PANEL) GENTLY WHILE RE-

INSTALLING IT.

4. Swing the bottom of the door out and raise

it slightly to lift the top flange of the door frame

away from the appliance.

Figure 5

Flame Appearance and Sooting

Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste.

Generally most people prefer the warm glow of

a yellow to orange flame. Appliances operated

with air shutter openings that are too large will

exhibit flames that are blue and transparent.

These weak, blue and transparent flames are

termed anemic. If the air shutter opening is too

small sooting may develop.

Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing

at the tips of very long orange flames. Sooting

results in black deposits forming on the logs,

appliance inside surfaces and on exterior sur-

faces adjacent to the vent termination.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE MILLIVOLT GAS CONTROL SYSTEM

1. Spark ignitor will not light

pilot after repeated

triggering of ignitor button.

2. Pilot will not stay lit after

carefully following the

lighting instructions.

3. Pilot burning, no gas to

burner, Valve knob “ON,”

Wall Switch “ON.”

4. Frequent pilot/burner outage

problem.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONSYMPTOM

A. Defective ignitor

(no spark at electrode).

B. Defective or misaligned electrode

at pilot (spark at electrode).

C. Gas supply pressure errant.

D. Pilot orifice plugged.

A. Defective pilot generator

(thermocouple).

A. Wall switch or wires defective.

B. Thermopile may not be generating

sufficient millivoltage.

C. Plugged burner orifice.

A. Pilot flame may be too low or

blowing (high) causing the pilot/

valve safety to drop out.

Check for spark at electrode and pilot; if no spark and

electrode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

Note: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off valve (located at gas supply inlet) is in

the “ON” position.

Important: Valve system troubleshooting should only be accomplished by a qualified service technician.

Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame impinge-

ment on thermocouple

(Figure 10 on page 8- SIT, Figure 11

on page 8- Honeywell)

Check burner orifice for stoppage and remove.

Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at thermo-

pile terminals of gas valve. Should read 325 millivolts mini-

mum with optional wall switch “OFF.” Replace faulty thermo-

pile if reading is below specified minimum.

Check wall switch and wires for proper connections. Jumper

wire across terminals at wall switch, if burner comes on,

replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper wires across wall

switch wires at valve, if burner comes on, wires are faulty or

connections are bad.

Check pilot flame, it must impinge on thermocouple

(Figure

10 on page 8- SIT, Figure 11 on page 8- Honeywell)

. Clean

and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement on

thermocouple. Ensure that the connection between the valve

and thermocouple are tight and secure.

Clean or replace pilot orifice.

Check inlet gas pressure. It should be within the limits as

marked on the rating plate.

Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and

trigger the ignitor button again. If pilot lights, an improper gas

mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period is

recommended. If pilot will not light – check gap at electrode

and pilot – should be ¹⁄₈" to have a strong spark. If gap

measures ¹⁄₈", replace pilot

(Figure 10 on page 8- SIT, Figure

11 on page 8- Honeywell)

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.
